AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner — Question 945

A development team wants to publish and manage web services that provide REST APIs.
Which AWS service will meet this requirement?

Answer options

• A. AWS App Mesh
• B. Amazon API Gateway
• C. Amazon CloudFront
• D. AWS Cloud Map

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Amazon API Gateway is a fully managed service designed specifically to help developers create, publish, maintain, monitor, and secure REST and WebSocket APIs at any scale. While AWS App Mesh manages service-to-service communication and Amazon CloudFront is a content delivery network, neither is built for API lifecycle management. AWS Cloud Map is a service discovery tool and does not publish or manage REST APIs.
